Built to Restore What Was Meant to Stand

House of Heritage is designed to restore stability and direction in the lives of young men. With clear expectations and consistent support, they are given the opportunity to move forward with confidence and purpose.
Every year in Minnesota, thousands of young men face homelessness with nowhere to go. They sleep outside in the cold, hide in stairwells, and move from place to place just to make it through the night. House of Heritage exists to interrupt that reality and offer something stronger than temporary relief—a place to rebuild.
  • 7,500 young adults experience homelessness in Minnesota every year
  • Only 205 shelter beds exist statewide
  • That’s just 2.7% capacity
This means thousands are left to figure it out on their own. House of Heritage exists to change that.


A Foundation Built for More Than Survival

A Home That Rebuilds and Accelerates Young Men

The Vision

The House of Heritage is not a shelter.
It is a transitional home designed to rebuild identity, responsibility, and direction. Located in Faribault, this home will serve young men ages 18–24 with:
  • A safe, stable place to live
  • Structured daily expectations
  • Employment requirements
  • Financial literacy training
  • Mentorship and community
  • A clear path toward independence
This is not about temporary relief. This is about long-term transformation.

Psalm 127:1a
